“Pro-Vigil is an exceptional platform for growth,” said Riverside Vice President Brad Resnick. “It has plenty of room to grow in its core markets, and we see ample opportunity to expand into new markets and geographies.”

Working with Schlachet and Resnick on the transaction for Riverside were Senior Associate Kevin Kumar, Operating Partner Mike Eblin, and Finance Director Lynda Barr. Origination Principal Jim Butterfield sourced the transaction for Riverside.
